and it says that it is a "personal shower." I inquired to the bride what that means, and she said basically you buy her "personal" stuff. For the honeymoon, or whatever. Clothes for the honeymoon, perfume, lotions, bags, shoes, anything for the "lady".
Is this common? Because I think it is horribly tacky.
If it matters, this is her second wedding, and the couple claims "they don't need anything."
I think it's weird but I would probably buy her a gift card or something.
It's great that they have everything but maybe they could have left out "personal" and just let it be a celebration. If people wanted to buy her stuff they could call and ask what they could buy her when they RSVP
Personal shower is tacky. A shower for a 2nd wedding where they don't need anything is also majorly tacky. Plus why would you want other people to pick those things out for you? Weird. And what does the dude get?
I just feel like...if you don't need anything, then maybe not have a shower? Or simply have a get together and put "no gifts" on the invite, and let people bring something if they choose?
I think I'm finding it tacky because I know the bride. She's very materialistic, superficial, etc. She likes attention and when people buy her shit.
I would assume lingerie as well. Although that would only make sense to me if it is a shower for just close friends. If everyone including grandma is invited, that would be uncomfortable.
How strange. I wouldn't mind a lingerie shower, but clothes and shoes and stuff? Weird. I'd be getting her some footsie jammies or something equally ridiculous.
I would not be going! solves the what to buy dilema
Aren't you nice?
lol why? I am mean because I wouldn't go to shower for someone the OP descibes as- "very materialistic, superficial, etc. She likes attention and when people buy her shit." yeah, no I would have no problem rsvping no to that
